The Power of 10

Written VERY early Saturday morning:

As I sit here, the clock on my phone reads 3:57am. I just put Geoffrey back to sleep after feeding and burping him. While he was busy sucking down his last ounce, I realized something. He is the motivation for me to be a happy, healthy person. Caring every day for my almost 2 month old, I have more drive and feel more determination to be a better person. After many tears and struggles, we have decided to bottle feed him. It was a heartbreaking decision, but in two weeks he went from around 9lbs to 10.4lbs. I have made this decision and honestly, am a lot less stressed and I can be a better mommy to my son. It works for us.

We have made a lot of progress in those two weeks, he sparked the idea of the power of 10. My current set of goals surround the number 10:

  1. Exercise at least 10mins a day.
  2. Lose the remaining 10lbs to return to my pre-baby weight.
  3. Schedule 10 jewelry shows for the spring.
  4. Set time aside for prayer and devotion at 10:00 (am OR pm)
